Jessica Alba and Hugh Hefner Make Up

Dan Whitcomb reports that Jessica Alba and Hugh Hefner have made nice.

Film star Jessica Alba forgave Playboy magazine on Tuesday for making her an unwitting cover girl after founder Hugh Hefner sent the actress a personal apology and pledged to donate money to her favorite charities.

Alba had threatened to sue Playboy after the men’s magazine printed a photo of the bikini-clad actress from her 2005 movie “Into the Blue” on the cover of its March issue — which she said duped readers into thinking she was nude inside. “In light of Mr. Hefner’s personal apology for Playboy’s unauthorized use of my photo on their cover, I have decided to discontinue my claims against them,” Alba, 24, said in a written statement. “This was never about money, it was about setting the record straight about something that was done without my knowledge or consent,” she added.

In his letter to Alba, Hefner apologized for “any distress unintentionally caused by the publication of your photo” on the March cover. “What was intended as a tribute to your tremendous popularity has been misinterpreted by some as something else for which we are truly sorry since we are among your biggest fans,” Hefner said.
